Description
Who is the crown-root inlay intended for?
- Patients after root canal treatment in whom a significant part of the tooth crown has been destroyed
- People with weakened teeth that cannot be rebuilt with a standard filling
- Patients planning prosthetic reconstruction, e.g. in the form of a ceramic crown
- People who want to strengthen the tooth structure to avoid the risk of fracture
What does tooth reconstruction look like using a crown-root inlay?
- Assessment of the condition of the tooth – the dentist assesses the possibility of using the inlay and selects the appropriate material
- Root canal preparation – cleaning and proper shaping of the root interior
- Insertion of the inlay – placing a metal or fiberglass inlay in the root of the tooth
- Tooth crown reconstruction – a filling or a prosthetic crown can be attached to the inlay
- Final aesthetic reconstruction – the tooth with the rebuilt crown looks natural and regains full functionality
The procedure is painless and performed under local anesthesia.
Types of crown-root inlays
- Metal inlays – made of metal, used in classic prosthetics
- Fiberglass inlays – modern, flexible, well suited to the tooth structure
- Individual cast inlays – created on the basis of tooth impression, used in more complex cases
Benefits of using a crown-root inlay
- Strengthens tooth structure and protects against fracture
- It allows for aesthetic and permanent reconstruction of the tooth crown
- Provides long-lasting effects and improves biting comfort
- Allows you to avoid tooth extraction and the need for an implant
